Foodie meets fashion

Whole30 day 1 done!

Hi so I was supposed to start my Whole30 and 12 week fitness challenge today. However since I came down with a cold, coughing and sore throat. I need to wait till im better, planing on monday the 13th instead. I did start the Whole30 as planned. Today just flew by way to fast and I haven’t done everything I wanted to do. But oh well tomorrow is a new day 🙂

A little about The Whole30, it is a 30 day paleo nutrition challenge. Eat real food – meat, seafood, eggs, tons of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of good fats from fruits, oils, nuts and seeds. Eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because they’re totally natural and unprocessed. Don’t worry… these guidelines are outlined in extensive detail in the whole9life free shopping list.

What not to eat:

More importantly, here’s what NOT to eat during the duration of your Whole30 program.Omitting all of these foods and beverages will help you regain your healthy metabolism, reduce systemic inflammation, and help you discover how these foods are truly impacting your health, fitness and quality of life.

Do not consume alcohol, in any form, not even for cooking. (And it should go without saying, but no tobaccoproducts of any sort, either.)

Do not eat grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat, sprouted grains and all of those gluten-free pseudo-grains like quinoa. Yes, we said corn… for the purposes of this program, corn is a grain! This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch and so on. Again, read your labels.

Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds (black, red, pinto, navy, white, kidney, lima, fava, etc.), peas, chickpeas, lentils, and peanuts. No peanut butter, either. This also includes all forms of soy – soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).

Do not eat dairy. This includes cow, goat or sheep’s milk products such as cream, cheese (hard or soft), kefir, yogurt (even Greek), and sour cream… with the exception of clarified butter or ghee. (See below for details.)

Do not consume carrageenan, MSG or sulfites. If these ingredients appear in any form on the label of your processed food or beverage, it’s out for the Whole30.

Do not eat white potatoes. This is somewhat arbitrary, but if we are trying to change your habits and improve the hormonal impact of your food choices, it’s best to leave white, red, purple, Yukon gold and fingerling potatoes off your plate.

In addition, no Paleo-ifying dessert or junk food choices. Trying to shove your old, unhealthy diet into a shiny new Whole30 mold will ruin your program faster than you can say, “Paleo pizza.” This means no desserts or junk food made with “approved” ingredients—no coconut-flour pancakes, almond-flour muffins, flourless brownies, or coconut milk ice cream. Don’t try to replicate junk food during your 30 days! That misses the point of the Whole30 entirely. From http://whole9life.com/2013/08/the-whole30-program/

Day 1 went well I ate 3 meals like you are supposed to on the plan and I was full. However I know when I’m at work or workout I will eat 1 or 2 smaller extra meals. I will post that here too. Today I also had a green smoothie to my breakfast, it is not included in the Whole30 program. We should only eat whole foods for 30 days. However since I’m sick I wanted to get more nutrients in my body.

Do not eat white potatoes. This is somewhat arbitrary, but if we are trying to change your habits and improve the hormonal impact of your food choices, it’s best to leave white, red, purple, Yukon gold and fingerling potatoes off your plate.

About me

I am a foodie who loves life and getting healthy in body and mind. I started to eat Paleo in beginning of 2013 and now I’m modifying it to fit me with a vegetarian/paleo/primal/raw diet with lots of chocolate. Basically getting back to eating healthy like we did back in the primal days with a modern take. I love fashion and it’s another passion. So I’m combining the two with some other random stuff and lots of laughs. Follow me on my journey through food and fashion.
